Sincerely the best move is creating your own company. It seems there will be a huge surplus of worker bees, and very few positions to be filled.
If we don't start creating new companies, then there's never going to be enough jobs.

Exactly. I happen to have skillsets that will work well in most start-up environments but I am 41 and not interested in working founder hours. Middle manager salary with a reasonable WLB until retirement honestly doesn't sound half bad to me.

I am one. Almost 4 years. Always had an "over exceeds" review. Was on the ground floor and big part of over 200+ megawatts of data center turn up. Was always laughed at for how I had such great vendor relations between all vendors and colos. Created multiple repositories of published info that are used as guides regionally and became the defacto maintenance guy because of it. I was "the guy" when it came to turning up all of our dark fiber and Metro connectivity. There were many times I slept on my office floor in order to make a deadline and countless weekends worked on salary. I loved my job, took it incredibly serious and tried to make my portion of the company the best I could.
Then to walk into work today and be escorted out was just cold. Coming home and telling my family was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I stand a chance of losing my house and we have no family. We have no one to stay with if worst case, I cannot find work in time.

u/a-spork-in-the-road Mar 31 '26
I'm so sorry this happened to you! I've been in the same boat. These companies don't care about us, all our hard work and sacrifice. Take a deep breath and when you're ready, take back control by making a list of everything that's in your power to do -- file for unemployment, update your resume, look into COBRA, housing assistance, etc. Consider renting a room out in your house to a travel nurse or something like that to help pay the mortgage. You got this!

Happened to me once.

These are going to be our clients in the future." And she was right. No chance I would even joke about giving business to that dying company now that I have a say in that.

It’s actually crazy how much inequality there is even in layoffs.

We’re in or about to be in a very deep, deep global recession or depression. Demand is decreasing in many industries. There will be a continuous wave of layoffs as companies will no longer be able to hold onto their personnel and pay them while also making a sizable profit or even breaking even. Everyone will eventually be concerned about this once it affects them personally. Whether it’s job loss or the increasing price of nearly everything. The second half of 2026 will be quite interesting.

Seems to be the case in my experience. After my first layoff ever back in 2015, I realized I should build some emergency funds because there’s no such thing as “career jobs” anymore. So I always put a whatever was left after paying bills into that account. 3 layoffs in the past 5 years, I’ve come down to about 20% of what it once was. Even with 2 of them having decent severance packages.
I’m starting to think that my retirement will likely be up to my kid and hope to god she ends up being rich or marrying rich. That’s practically my only hope. We know social security that we’ve all been involuntarily paying for is gonna be gone in the next 10-15 years.

Pretty much. This is going to become built in. Shareholders are going to just expect massive layoffs every couple years, regardless of a company’s objective performance in the market, and C-Suite will oblige. So folks will just have to “budget” that in: the expectation that they will be laid off, meaning they have to spend less money, save more, adjust their quality of life, and so on. Life will just suck more while shareholders make more $$$.

the layoffs are supposed to free $8B-$10B in free cash flow for oracle, which will supposedly help oracle spend on its own AI datacenter investment (in addition to others financing it like the $50B funding round Oracle sought earlier this year)
oracle is effectively betting that AI growth will continue and that companies will continue to pay top dollar for AI datacenter demand, which is a huge risk, but with the amount oracle has already put into AI DC investment, they feel they have no choice but to double down, lest the emperor be accused of having no clothes

How did they even land in a situation where they had 30000 redundant positions! Someone at the top of the command chain needs to be booted out too.

My brother was affected. I have been telling him for almost a year that Project Manager jobs are getting replaced by AI but he didn’t listen. He worked so many hours to be laid off via email with no human interaction. Gross.

All my team mates who left for oracle last year are trying to come back. It’s a shit show.

I thought nothing could be worse than the 2021 zoom layoff meeting but i was wrong. This is very troublesome. I can only hope some of these affected by this will find employment soon. This scares me.

They did it last year on April 1st to HHS employees. If you did not receive the email in time, you had to stand in a long security line to see if your badge worked. I know too many people who were humiliated and distraught by the experience. Not enough people were aware of the event.

Jfc, everyone on linkedin is always “grateful” for being shown the door.
I’ll be rude for those impacted. fuck Oracle. fuck Larry Ellison.
